Method, device and computer program product for storage management

ABSTRACT

A storage management technique involves: receiving from a requesting node a write request for writing target data into a first target storage space in a redundant array of independent disks (RAID); if a storage device associated with the first target storage space does not fail, acquiring first data stored in the first target storage space and a first parity value corresponding to the requesting node and stored in a parity storage space; determining a target parity value based on the target data, the first data, and the first parity value; and updating a stripe with the target data and the target parity value. Accordingly, locks caused by updating the parity value can be avoided, so that different nodes can perform parallel write to different storage spaces in the same stripe in the RAID.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Preferred embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although the preferred embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be more thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.

As used herein, the term “including” and variations thereof mean open-ended inclusion, that is, “including but not limited to.” Unless specifically stated, the term “or” means “and/or.” The term “based on” means “based at least in part on.” The terms “one example embodiment” and “one embodiment” mean “at least one example embodiment.” The term “another embodiment” means “at least one further embodiment.” The terms “first,” “second,” and the like may refer to different or the same objects. Other explicit and implicit definitions may also be included below.

In a RAID-based storage system, one RAID may include storage blocks from a plurality of storage disks, and the plurality of storage disks may also constitute a plurality of independent RAIDs. In the process of RAID-based data recovery, other storage blocks in the same RAID may be used to recover data of target storage blocks.

As discussed above, according to a conventional solution, when a stripe in a RAID is written by a node, the node not only needs to modify the written data part, but also needs to modify corresponding parity values. In the conventional solution, one stripe usually has only one parity value. Therefore, the node needs to lock the entire stripe during the writing process to prevent other nodes from accessing data of the stripe. However, some writings are often only for part of the data in the stripe, and such locking will affect the performance of the RAID.

According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, a storage management solution is provided. In this solution, when a write request for writing target data to a first target storage space in the RAID is received from a requesting node, it is determined whether a storage device associated with the first target storage space has not failed. If the storage device associated with the first target storage space does not fail, first data stored in the first target storage space and a first parity value corresponding to the requesting node and stored in a parity storage space are acquired. Then, a target parity value is determined based on the target data, the first data, and the first parity value, and the target data and the target parity value are used to update the stripe.

In this way, the embodiments of the present disclosure may assign corresponding parity values to different nodes. This can eliminate the need for a single node to lock other data spaces and other parity values when performing partial writes. Furthermore, the embodiments of the present disclosure can allow other nodes to execute write or read requests for other data spaces in parallel, thereby improving the efficiency of a storage system.

The solution of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 illustrates example environment 100 in which the embodiments of the present disclosure may be implemented. As shown in FIG. 1, environment 100 includes storage management device 120 which is configured to manage RAID 130 coupled thereto. In addition, storage management device 120 may also be coupled with one or more nodes 110-1, 110-2 to 110-N (individually or collectively referred to as node 110) to receive an access request for RAID 130 from node 110.

Conventionally, RAID 130 may be organized into multiple stripes, and one stripe may span multiple storage devices. For example, in a conventional 4+1 RAID 5, one stripe may be associated with five different storage devices to store data in four storage devices and store parity values in one storage device.

As shown in FIG. 1, unlike the conventional 4+1 RAID 5, stripe 140 in RAID 130 may span six different storage devices, four of them (storage devices 154, 156, 158, and 160) are used for storing data, and two storage devices (storage devices 152 and 162) are used for storing the parity values.

In some implementations, the parity values may correspond to multiple nodes 110 one to one. For example, a parity value PA may correspond to node 110-1, and a parity value PB may correspond to node 110-2. It should be understood that the specific RAID types and the number of the parity values shown in FIG. 1 are only illustrative. Those skilled in the art can understand that a corresponding number of parity values may be set for any appropriate RAID type based on the number of nodes.

By setting multiple parity values in one stripe, the embodiments of the present disclosure can allow parallel access to the same stripe. The following will describe the access process of the RAID structure based on the multiple parity values in conjunction with FIGS. 2 to 5.

FIG. 2 illustrates a flowchart of process 200 for storage management according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Process 200 may be implemented, for example, by storage management device 120 shown in FIG. 1.

As shown in FIG. 2, in block 202, storage management device 120 receives a write request from a requesting node to write target data to a first target storage space in RAID 130, where RAID 130 is associated with multiple nodes 110 and includes stripe 140, stripe 140 includes a data storage space for storing data and a parity storage space for storing a plurality of parity values corresponding to a plurality of nodes, and the first target storage space is at least a part of the data storage space of the stripe.

The process of block 202 will be described below in combination with FIG. 3. FIG. 3 illustrates schematic diagram 300 of storage management according to the embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 3, storage management device 120 may, for example, receive a write request from a requesting node (for example, node 110-1 in FIG. 1). The write request may be used, for example, to write target data “D1′” and “D2′” into corresponding target storage spaces 320-2 and 320-3.

As shown in FIG. 3, stripe 140 includes four data storage spaces 320-1, 320-2, 320-3, and 320-4 for storing data. In addition, stripe 140 also includes parity storage space 310-1 for storing a parity value PB and parity storage space 310-2 for storing a parity value PA.

Additionally, the parity value “PA” may be associated with node 110-1, and the parity value “PB” may be associated with node 110-2, for example. When stripe 140 is initialized, all data storage spaces and parity storage spaces in stripe 140 may be set to initial values (for example, 0).

In block 204, storage management device 120 determines whether a storage device associated with the first target storage space has failed. If the storage device has not failed, process 200 proceeds to block 206. In block 206, storage management device 120 acquires the first data stored in the first target storage space and the first parity value corresponding to the requesting node and stored in the parity storage space.

It should be understood that the storage device having not failed described here may mean that an entire storage disk corresponding to the storage space has not failed, or that a physical storage block corresponding to the storage space has not failed. Storage management device 120 may acquire operating information of a storage disk corresponding to RAID 130 to determine whether the corresponding storage device fails.

Continuing with the example of FIG. 3, storage management device 120 may determine that storage device 156 corresponding to storage space 320-2 and storage device 158 corresponding to storage space 320-3 have not failed. Subsequently, storage management device 120 may acquire first data “D1” and “D2” stored in storage space 320-2, and acquire the first parity value “PA” corresponding to node 110-1 and stored in parity storage space 310-2.

Continuing to refer to FIG. 2, in block 208, storage management device 120 determines a first target parity value based on the target data, the first data, and the first parity value. In some implementations, storage management device 120 may determine the target parity value based on an exclusive OR operation on the target data, the first data, and the first parity value.

In the example of FIG. 3, storage management device 120 may, for example, determine the first target parity value “PA1” based on the exclusive OR operation on the target data “D1′” and “D2′,” the first data “D1” and “D2” and the first parity value “PA”, and the first target parity value “PA1” may, for example, be determined according to formula (1): PA1=D1′⊕D2′⊕D1⊕D2⊕PA  (1)

Where ⊕ means exclusive OR operation.

Continuing to refer to FIG. 2, in block 210, storage management device 120 uses the target data and the target parity value to update the stripe. Specifically, storage management device 120 may write the target data into the first target storage space and replace the first parity value with the first target parity value.

Continuing with the example of FIG. 3, storage management device 120 may write the target data “D1′” and “D2′” into corresponding storage spaces 320-2 and 320-3, and write the determined first target parity value “PA1” into parity storage space 310-2 to replace the first parity value “PA.”

In the above process, storage management device 120 does not need to lock unaccessed data storage spaces and parity storage spaces for other nodes. For example, in the example of FIG. 3, other nodes 110 may still perform reading or writing to data storage spaces 320-1 and/or 320-4.

As an example, another node 110-2 may write to data storage space 320-1 in parallel, and update the parity value “PB” corresponding to node 110-1 based on the same method as process 200.

Based on the method discussed above, by setting multiple parity values associated with different nodes, the embodiments of the present disclosure can allow different nodes to initiate access requests to different data storage spaces of the same stripe in parallel without causing conflict. In this way, the performance of the RAID can be improved.

In some implementations, an error may occur when storage management device 120 writes the target data to the target storage space. FIG. 4 illustrates schematic diagram 400 of error handling according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

As shown in FIG. 4, target storage space 320-2 and target storage space 320-3 have been partially updated, but the writing of the target data fails. In this case, storage management device 120 may re-determine a second target parity value PA2.

In some implementations, storage management device 120 may acquire second data from other data storage spaces than the first target storage space in the stripe. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, storage management device 120 may acquire data “D0” in data storage space 320-1 and data “D3” in data storage space 320-4.

Additionally, storage management device 120 may determine the second target parity value based on the second data and the target data. As shown in FIG. 4, storage management device 120 may determine the second target parity value “PA2” based on exclusive OR operation on the target data “D1′” and “D2′,” the data “D0” in data storage space 320-1, and the data “D3” in data storage space 320-4. The second target parity value “PA2” may, for example, be determined according to formula (2): PA1=D1′⊕D2′⊕D0⊕D3  (2)

In some implementations, storage management device 120 may use the target data and the second target parity value to update stripe 140 again. Taking FIG. 4 as an example, storage management device 120 may continue to write the target data “D1′” and “D2′” into target storage spaces 320-2 and 320-3, and write the re-determined second target parity value “PA2” into parity storage space 310-2.

In some implementations, in order to ensure that the exclusive OR value of all stored data and all parity data is 0, storage management device 120 may also set parity values associated with other nodes among the plurality of parity values to the initial value. For example, storage management device 120 may set the parity value “PB” stored in parity storage space 310-1 to 0.

In some implementations, in the event of a failure, storage management device 120 needs to lock the stripe to prevent other nodes from modifying other parity data or the second data.

In some implementations, if a storage device associated with other data storage spaces than the first target storage space in stripe 140 fails, storage management device 120 may record the target data and the first parity value in a log before completing updating of stripe 140. In this way, even if an additional storage device fails, storage management device 120 can recover the data from the log information, thereby ensuring data security.

Continuing to refer to FIG. 2, if it is determined that the storage device associated with the first target storage space fails in block 204, process 200 proceeds to block 212. In block 212, storage management device 120 may acquire third data from other data storage spaces than the first target storage space in the stripe. The process of block 212 will be described below in combination with FIG. 5. FIG. 5 illustrates schematic diagram 500 of storage management according to yet another embodiments of the present disclosure.

As shown in FIG. 5, storage management device 120 may, for example, receive a request from node 110-1 to write the target data “D1′” into target storage space 520-2. For example, storage management device 120 may determine that a storage device associated with target storage space 520-2 has failed, and may acquire the data “D0” in data storage space 520-1, the data “D2” in data storage space 520-3, and the data “D3” in data storage space 520-4.

In block 214, storage management device 120 may determine a third target parity value based on the second data and the target data. Specifically, storage management device 120 may determine the third target parity value based on exclusive OR operation on the second data and the target data. Continuing with the example of FIG. 5, storage management device 120 may determine the third target parity value “PA3” based on the data “D0” in storage space 520-1, the data “D2” in data storage space 520-3, the data “D3” in data storage space 520-4, and the target data “D1′.” The third target parity value “PA3” may, for example, be determined according to formula (3): PA3=D1′⊕D0⊕D2⊕D3  (3)

In block 216, storage management device 120 may update the stripe with the target data and the third target parity value. For example, in the example of FIG. 5, storage management device 120 may write the target data “D1′” to the storage space that has not failed, and write the third target parity value to parity storage space 510-2, and thus, updating of stripe 140 is completed.

In some implementations, in order to ensure that the exclusive OR value of all stored data and all parity data is 0, storage management device 120 may also set parity values associated with other nodes among the plurality of parity values to the initial value. For example, after writing the target data and the third target parity value, storage management device 120 may set the parity value “PB” stored in parity storage space 310-1 to 0.

In some implementations, in order to prevent other storage devices from causing data loss due to failure, storage management device 120 may also record the target data and the first parity value in the log before completing updating of stripe 140.

In some implementations, storage management device 120 may also respond to a read request. FIG. 6 illustrates schematic diagram 600 of storage management according to yet another embodiment of the present disclosure.

As shown in FIG. 6, storage management device 120 may receive a read request to read data from the second target storage space of the stripe. For example, storage management device 120 may receive the read request from node 110-1 to read data from data storage space 620-2 in stripe 140.

In some implementations, if the storage device associated with the second target storage space fails, storage management device 120 may acquire fourth data from other data storage spaces than the second target storage space in stripe 140. Taking FIG. 6 as an example, storage management device 120 may acquire data “D0” in data storage space 620-1, data “D2” in 620-3, and data “D3” in 620-4, as well as multiple parity values “PA” and “PB.”

In some implementations, storage management device 120 may then restore the data in the second target storage space based on the fourth data and the multiple parity values, and provide the restored data as a response to the read request. Continuing with the example of FIG. 6, storage management device 120 may acquire the data “D0” in data storage space 620-1, the data “D2” in 620-3, and the data “D3” in 620-4, as well as the multiple parity values “PA” and “PB” to restore the data “D1” stored in data storage space 620-2. The data “D1” may, for example, be determined according to formula (4): D1=PA⊕PB⊕D0⊕D2⊕D3  (4)

It should be understood that the data reconstruction process is similar to the data recovery process, which can use data in other data storage spaces and multiple parity values to perform data reconstruction, and the specific process will not be described in detail here.
